James Hall & Mark Hershberger: Bat Reviews

Bat Model: Miken Vicious Slow Pitch Softball Bat- MS100CA 

First 100 Swings: This bat has a balanced swing weight. Straight out of the wrapper it feels fairly stiff and has a small sweetspot. This bat makes a nice Mike sound at contact. About 50 swings in, it started to open up a little. I can't wait to see what it is like after 300 plus swings 

Bat Model: SB92T TPS Triton 3-X Composite 27 oz.

First 100 Swings: This bat has a balanced swing weight. Straight out of the wrapper it feels fairly stiff and has a small sweetspot, but when you hit it, the ball comes off well. This bat has a unique sound at contact. Almost like an aluminum bat.

100-300 Swings: The bat has opened up a bit. It definately has good pop and an overall good feel. The sound is still very different from other bats but the ball jumps when hit on the sweet spot.

300 Swings on: The bat is hot! It gets better with every swing. I think it will continue to get better until it breaks. This is a great team bat.

Bat Model: Worth Toxic Titan Composite SBTTNC 27 oz.

First 100 Swings: This bat has a slight endloaded swing weight. It is not a end loaded bat but does swing that way. Straight out of the wrapper it sounds like a well broken Mayhem. It makes a nice cracking sound at the point of contact. Distance is average for a new bat but we will see how it opens up over the next 200 swings.

100-300 Swings: Not alot of improvement at this point. Hopefully it starts to open up a little in the next 200 swings.

Bat Model: Miken MV-1 Model # MSMV1BU

First 100 Swings

This bat has a balanced feel to it. It is also available in a max load. Straight out of the wrapper, it has that great Miken cracking sound. The ball jumps off this bat. I hit some towering shots with this thing. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts due to how hot it is straight out of the wrapper. I am definetly a Miken fan in 2010!!!
